Work-based learning is a program to provide students with a planned
program of job training and other employment experiences related to a
chosen career. There are six major recognized types of work-based
learning experiences for secondary students in Michigan, as well as an
additional school-related component, regarding the employment of minors
as follows: 1) student/visitor, 2) volunteer, 3) work-based learning
(non-CTE programs (paid and unpaid student learner), 4) work-based
learning state-approved CTE programs (paid and unpaid student learner),
5) in-district/in-school placement (unpaid student learner), and 6)
minor employee with a work permit.

Depending on the type of
learning experience, the pupil might be engaged for one hour, one day,
one semester, or even one year in length. The learning experience may
be paid or unpaid, serves all students, and can be an in-school or
out-of-school placement. Specific elements of each of the six major
types of work experiences are contained in a Work-Based Learning
Opportunities Chart contained in this Guide.
